C. Armold, a farmer, was born in York County, Penn., July 13, 1831, the son of
Peter and Barbara (Lehman) Armold, natives of Pennsylvania, and born in 1803
and 1809, respectively. They were of German stock, and the father was occupied
at the farm until his death, in 1869, but the mother still survives him, in the
county of our subjectís birth and education. Our subject worked independently,
about two years after his majority, before he married. From that time he was a
farmer in York County for about seven years before he began in wood and stone
work. It was in 1871 that he came to Clark County, and settled on his present
estate, where, in connection with farming, he was engaged burning lime for
about fourteen years. His wife, Sarah A. Stouffer, was born in Lancaster
County, Penn., December 9, 1836, and married in 1854. Eight of their thirteen
children are living, and are as follows: Emma, a deaf mute, educated at the
Pennsylvania Deaf and Dumb Institute, at Philadelphia; Jacob, Winfield, David,
Anna C., Reuben, Franklin, and Christopher, also a deaf mute. Our subjectís
good business qualities have made him the possessor of 114 acres of good land,
acquired by a self-made man. He first voted for Gen. Scott, in 1852, and votes
the straight Republican ticket still. He and his wife hold to the religious
faith of the Methodist Church, although they are not members at present.
